During the Guild War period, Moscow paid host to a massive Human Reform League military garrison that was housed in a sprawling subterranean complex beneath the city – a virtual state-of-the-art fortification beneath the birthplace of Communism. The Moscow base was originally intended to act as a powerful safeguard against “imperialist aggression” by the Earth Sphere Alliance – now as a faculty of the Earth Union, it serves as a reinforced defense point for much of European Russia, as well as the main seat of political authority west of the Urals.

The Moscow base is primarily subterranean, with thick bunker complexes, tunnels and metros snaking around throughout much of the city’s underground. Much of the city itself has been occupied for defense purposes, and military establishments with mobile suit elevators to the base exist in most strategic locations, including within Red Square and Domodedovo Airport; the former is still the site of annual military parades on May Day, although the “Marxist rhetoric” has been toned down somewhat in lieu of the Earth Union’s stated political objectives. Three main shafts concentrated roughly equidistant from the city center, on the north west, north east, and south sides of the Moskva River, form the perimeter of the base’s central facilities – each are protected by multiple beam cannon emplacements on retractable pedestal mounts. Other defensive positions roughly ring the perimeter downtown urban area, with topside checkpoints in place at street level, although many of these are no longer in use given the Union’s less authoritarian approach to civil defense.

The old Kremlin castle includes a headquarters facility with sufficient faculties to maintain political and military control of most of western Russia in the event that communications are disrupted with the rest of the Union. In a similar, if somewhat smaller, display to the Union’s political headquarters at Bern, old League Tierens are stationed in static displays in and around the castle, with various commemorative works and displays regarding the Human Reform League’s accomplishments before the formation of the Union, and of how its former states play an important role in that government to the present.
